TELEGRAPHIC NOTES.

The Southern Pacific branch road
from Newhall, was completed to San
Buenaventura on the 9th, and trains
will be running in a few days.
Dispatches received from Australia
on the 2Sth tell of the terrible hurri-
cane which recently swept over the
southern coast, and they state that
forty boats engaged in the pearl fish
ing industry, having on board crews
aggregating $50 men were lost.
Arrangements have been completed
between the Michigan Central and the
Canadian Pacific railways whereby
the trains of the latter road will run
over the former road to the western
states, so the Western, Ontario & Pa
oific will not build west OF London.
Henry Peters, Of Milwaukee, an old
resident 60 years old, died year ago,
and was supposed to have left some

tanning $40 900 in gold coin was found
when taking up the floor of his base
ment.

The Ticket War.

NEW York, April 30.-The Com
mercial Advertiser says: The refusal
to-day by the Pennsylvania railroad to
sell tickets to accredited agents of west
ern railroads is regarded by Ticket Agt.
G. G. Lansing as the beginning of O
war for supremacy between the trunk
lines and western companies. Mr..
Lansing says the Pennsylvania roads
action is practically boycott and is
one OF the results Of the meeting of
the general passenger agents in this
city yesterday. The Pennsylvania,
which always takes the initiative in
such matters, will be joined, he thinks,
by all the other trunk lines. Lansing
characterizes this move on the part
of the trunk lines as most
violent attempt to carry out their bold
policy Of compelling western roads to
abolish payment Of commissions to
agents. This the policy of western
roads has steadily resisted. The western
roads, he said, will retaliate on Mon
day by compelling the trunk lines to
show cause in court why trunk lines
should not furnish tickets as before.
The western roads will also appeal to
the interstate commission, claiming
discrimination is being made contrary
TO the provisions of flaw. Opponents
of the trunk lines say this latest move
is an attempt to crush out weak west
ern roads.

Family Dimculty.

Los ANGELES, April 30.--A sensa-
ton was created here yesterday by an
attempt OF r. Porter Ashe, a we'll
known and turf man, to obtain posses
sion OF his two year old daughter Alma.
Mrs. Ashe has been residing here while
her husband lived Mt San Francisco.
Tuesday last, Mrs. Ashe, accom- panied
by her mother, Mrs. b. Crocker, a
sister-in-law of Chas. Crocker, left here
to attend the Alexander-Cr Crocker
wedding, at San Francisco and left the
child in charge Of Mrs. Bendal, rela-
tive of the family. Yesterday r.
Porter Ashe arrived here and while
Mrs. Belder had the child out for a
walk, he seized her and carried her to
the st. Elmo hotel. Mrs. Ashe was
informed by telegraph of the occur
renee and returned here in q special
train this afternoon. A writ of habeas
corpus was sworn out, which was set
for a hearing this afternoon. The
case was continued until Monday
morning, the child remainded mean
time to the care of the sheriff to be

this coast is evidently approaching the
flood. The Italy, of the National line,
from Liverpool brought 1850 in the

important consignment OF the season.
The agents of the other lines are ad-
vised that from now until summer, the
carrying capacity of the boots will be
put To q severe test. Extra steamers
may have TO be engaged. The ar
rivals by the Italy were principally

Secretary Whitney has concluded to
relieve the examining board of respon-
sibility for tests OF steel for the cruisers
and fix it upon the engineers now on
duty in connection with the machinery
of vessels. The board will still be
charged with the inspection Of the
machinery and boiler dlate. In his
opinion the tests for steel are much
too strict for gaining strength among
officers of the navy. Shipbuilder
Cramp complains that he cannot lay
keels for vessels as he has the contract
to construct, owing to the failure of
The steel supply, which is due largely
to the extreme rigor Of the tests.
In reply to q request from the
Sisters of st. Joseph in st. Louis that

state commission, writes: "Railroad
companies must determine for them
selves what shall be their policy in

terms allows the giving of reduced
rates to ministers Of religion, and If
they are given on the same general

legality could rise, and no railroad
company could have occasion to fear

BASEBALL.
PHILADELPHIA, April 30.--The great
event in the history OF baseball in this
city took place to-day in the opening
of the Philadelphia baseball park. The
The new grounds is believed TO be the
most complete and best appointed in
the United States, and sum not far
from 100000 has been expended in
its embellishment While situated
quite q distance from the center OF
the city, II is readily accessible by the
Pennsylvania & Reading railroad and
four different lines OF street railways.
For the opening, invitations had been
rendered to the state and city officials
and prominent citizens, majority OF
whom graced the occasion by
their presence. The seating capacity
Of the grounds is 14,5OO, but
before the beginning OF the game every
seat was occupied and the crowd
surged into the field. Ropes were
then brought into requisition and the
overflow, estimated at $500 people,
were lined behind them. Before the
game commenced the New York and
Philadelphia players raised a flag and
were accorded generous reception by
the spectators. Afterward, medals
emblematic OF the local championship
were presented to the Philadelphia
players. Owing to the heavy condi-
ton OF the grounds the game was not
of q very brilliant order. Fast base
running was out of the question, and
no matter how hard the ball was hit
1t rolled only few feet after striking
the earth. Keefe was hit harder than
ever before. The Philadelphias
has played their eighth inning
and had scored four runs on
four two baggers and base on balls and
the visitors had scored once on Wards
double and Connor's single, when
the empire called game on account of
darkness. The score, which everts to
the seventh innings, was as follows:
Philadelphia 16; New York 8.

A Grand Thanksgiving.

That was a memorable Thanksgiving
when, in the early spring of 1893, Co.
lumbus returned from his first voyage of
discovery to Palos, and FASTENED to meet
the Spanish sovereigns at Barcelona. Co
lumbus was man of faith. ''God made
me the messenger of the new heavens
and the new earth, " he said in his old
age, land told me where to find them.
1t was this patriarchal faith that inspired
him to weigh the earth, and TO travel the
unknown seas.
Palos throbbed with excitement as the
banner of the cross and crowns of Column
bus rose above the wave, and streamed
into the harbor. The bells rung. On
landing Columbus and his crew went to
the principal church, accompanied by
the whole population, and offered up
solemn thanksgivings for the success of
the expedition.
Columbus hastened to Barcelona to
meet the Court, His journey was tri-
umphal march.
1t was the middle of April, the month
of nightingales and flowers. Columbus
entered the city amid music, bells and
shouts of triumph. Ferdinand and lsa-
bella, seated under superb canopy, re-
ceived him as a viceroy rather than an
admiral and requested him to relate to
them the history of his voyage He did
so, surrounded by the Indians whom he
had brought with him, with their gay
plumes, and offerings of tropic birds and
fruits.
As he ended his wonderful narrative
there arose burst Of music, and bore
away to heaven the thoughts of the SOW
ereigns and mobiles and people, already
thrilled and melted by the most marvel
Gus tale ever told of human achievement.
1t was the chapel-choir of Isabella.
1--WE praise Thee, oh God; we ac-
knowledge Thee TO be the Lord; all the
earth doth worship Thee, the Father
everlasting"
The majestic Latin hymn swept on
until it reached the sublime words:
"Holy, holy, Lord God of hosts,
heaven and earth are full of the ma jesty
Of Thy gloryw
The great audience was filled will
ecslatic devotion. 1t was perhaps, tn,
most happy moment Of Columbus's lif,
this first thanksgiving for the new
world Youths Companion.

The Suffolk sheep, as claimed by their

If farmers could be persuaded to act

Corn for Sheep.

Experiments in feeding different kinds
Of grain to sheep during the winter has
proved that corn, if fed constantly. and
TO any great extent produces a fevered
condition of the system. This can,
doubtless, be remedied to some extent,
by feeding literally on roots. Most
flockmasters prefer a ration composed of
corn and oats, in the proportion of one p irt
of corn to two parts of oats. A half pint
of this mixture makes liberal ration
and many prefer to give only half that
amount when feeding good hay. Beans
are very highly relished, and at the
present low price can, undoubtedly, be
proftably substituted occasionally for
the corn and oat ration for a change
When corn alone is fed the flock is fire.
